A persistent floating timer that tracks every second you spend on distracting apps — even after you leave them. No cloud. No ads. Just radical awareness.
Most screen-time apps stop counting when you leave the app. Kala doesn't. The clock keeps ticking until you decide to stop it.
A draggable overlay that stays above every app — home screen, multitasking, other apps. The session only ends when you tap dismiss.
Session continues even when you switch apps or minimize. No hiding from the clock.
Per-app logs with daily summaries. See exactly where your time goes.
No internet permission. No servers. Everything lives in a private SQLite database on your device.
Track your progress over time. Build better habits with daily usage goals and streak tracking.
Small circular ring, medium digital readout, or large HH:MM:SS — pick what fits your workflow.
Set time limits per app. Kala can block access once you've hit your daily cap.
The overlay is fully draggable. Position it wherever it's least intrusive — or most confrontational.
Download the APK from the Play Store or sideload the beta build.
Enable Accessibility Service and Draw Over Other Apps. All on-device.
Choose which apps to monitor — Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, anything.
Open a monitored app. The timer starts. It won't stop until you decide.
We're looking for early testers to help shape the app before public launch. You'll get early access, direct line to the dev team, and your name in the credits.
Android 10+ required. Limited spots.
Kala is free, open-source, and has zero ads. If it helps you reclaim your time, consider buying the developers a coffee.
